Collective management of intellectual property rights

Authors and other rights holders may create associations and entities to manage their rights more effectively. These entities, authorised by the Ministry, facilitate the legitimate use of works and features to their users, by granting licences and authorisations.

Collective Management Entities

Collective management entities are associational, non-profit private organisations that, on their own behalf or on that of third parties, manage intellectual property rights of a patrimonial nature on behalf of their legitimate holders. Their main functions are outlined in this section.
